The tech Giant Google, which is bolstering its presence in emerging markets like Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa is said to have identified SBI as a potential strategic partner due to its reach, influence, and value as a company and brand.

Alphabet, the parent company that owns Google, among other firms, is worth over $750 Billion dollars, but its looking to expand into African markets, and is identifying valuable partners.

The exact details of the partnership have not been revealed yet, although, representatives of both SBI and Google met in Kenya this week to discuss the finer details of the partnership.

Speaking to a reporter, the President of SBI, Prophet Shepherd Bushiri stated that, Google’s general goals, directive, drive and initiative had moved him to agree to their advances.

“I think, when we were first approached, we were not sure how to proceed as a firm. I think any business admires to be like Google, to penetrate global markets, to increase monetary value and market capitalization in the manner that they have. Our point of meditation was just how we could come into the equation.

But, after sitting down, hearing them out, we understood that, their organizational intentions are a mirror image of ours. Our values reflect each other. Things like access to internet for all human beings, making data connectivity a basic right, changing the world through groundbreaking technology and apps.

As SBI we have already demonstrated through the launch of Bushiri Buzz, and PSB Network, that we have a deep motivation to become a global player in the tech industry. This is something that has been identified by the big giants of tech, and areas which we wish to partner.”

Prophet Bushiri added that there should be no surprises about such developments.

“Look, at SBI, we have SBI Airlines, SBI Technologies, SBI Consultancy, SBI Hospitality, and many others. We are a billion dollar inventory firm. It is normal that other big players look for partnerships with us.”

The man of cloth added that further details would be added during the course of the week and the month.

“This is just the beginning. We will be a major player. We have a presence in all of Africa’s biggest economies, and will be implementing terms of this partnership. It will be epic.”

The God of Major 1 is still surprising people in the USA through Apostle Felixosis, a son of Major 1, PhD. Indeed, during theprophetic conference he held in Utah(USA) on March 31st and April 1st, 2017 , Apostle Felixosis prayed for many people including politicians and one of them happened to be Mr. Bangasi Joseph Bakosoro, the former Governor of Western Equatoria State (South Sudan). Mr. Joseph Bangasi Bakosoro was elected as governor in 2010, but for some political reasons, he left South Sudan and is now living in the United States. When he came to meet the son of Major 1, he had a prayer request for his medical bills of $41,758.31 and others. Three weeks afterApostle Felixosisprayed for him, the bill was miraculously cancelled.

Governor Bangasi Joseph Bakosoro and Apostle Felixosis in Utah (USA) in April 2017.

Consequently, the former Governor gave his testimony to honor the God of Major 1. When the former Governor was contacted to hear what he had to say on this miracle, he said that “he is so shocked to see that the bill has been cancelled. He could not explain how it happened since God is a miraculous worker. He gave all the glory to God and encouraged people to keep on believing in the prophets of God like Major 1 and his spiritual sons because Major 1 is raising giants like Apostle Felixosis”.

This bill cancellation should not surprise those who have been followingProphet Shepherd BushiriMinistries and the Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) Church. In Pretoria, South Africa, the bills of countless people have been cancelled after Major 1, the father of Apostle Felixosis, prayed for them. Similarly, in March 2017 for instance, Apostle Felixosis prayed for a lady who spent weeks in a coma in the US, and hermedical bill dropped from 1.8 million USD to $63after the prayer. These mind-blowing miracles are just some of the signs that are accompanying the Son of Major Prophet Shepherd Bushiri (Major 1) in the USA.

When Apostle Felixosis was interviewed to comment on how the miracles happened, these were his exact words:

“Jesus said: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed” (John 5:19-20).Similarly, I (Apostle Felixosis), do what I see my father doing. As Apostle Paul indicated to his sons to follow him as he follows Christ, I follow Major 1, my father, as he follows Christ. Major 1 taught me that if I will be so close to the Lord Jesus Christ and learn from my spiritual father’s life, then, I will be able to partake of the Grace. I’m just doingwhat I see my father doing. I am not trying to be like him, but just to be a son who can manifest the work of his father when he is sent out“.

For several decades, Africa was the continent that received European and American missionaries. However, it is just recently that Africa started sending missionaries abroad. In a rare prophetic move, the renowned Prophet Shepherd Bushiri, Major 1, founder of the Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) Church, sent his son, the Malawian Apostle Felixosis Huios Nabi Navira, to lead ECG Church in America. Although based in Portland, Maine, this Apostle has been reaching out to other states in the US to share the Gospel. On March 31st and April 1st, 2017, Apostle Felixosis Huios (https://www.facebook.com/huios.felixosis) held a powerful prophetic conference in Utah (USA).

During this two day conference, the crowd was astounded by the prophecies and the miracles that the God of Major 1 did through the Apostle. For instance, after a prayer by this minister, some people who were deaf began to hear immediately. Other people attending the conference received miracle money right after prayer during the live service. One lady received $1,000 and another $520 as a sign of what is to come. Two women had one leg shorter than the other, but after the prayer of the man of God, their legs became even. Attending the event was a nine year old boy who was born normal, but who lost his vision and became blind at the age of three. Right after Apostle Felixosis Huios prayed for this boy, he recovered his sight as his eyes opened instantly. Several attendees of the conference were astonished by the miracles because they had never seen anything like that before.

Those who have been following the prophetic revolutionary revival that is shaking South Africa under the leadership of Prophet Shepherd Bushiri, Ph.D., know that the God of Major One is showcasing His power and is speaking today in an unusual way as never seen before (https://www.youtube.com/user/propheticchannelTv). It is a well-established fact and truth that Prophet Shepherd Bushiri (Major 1, PhD) is being mightily used by God in the prophetic, miracles, healings, business, and many other types of wonders. Dr. Major 1 has several sons and daughters across the globe. So far, the last born son of Major 1 (Apostle Felixosis Huios Nabi Navira) has been growing the ECG Church in Portland, Maine, and its members at a high speed that is testifying that he is really a son of the undeniable Major Prophet who has been breaking records including his performances in business (http://shepherdbushiriinvestments.com), teaching, prophecy, philanthropy, networking, mentoring, prosperity, wealth production and accumulation across the globe, etc. For instance, in less than three years, ECG Pretoria, South Africa, which was founded by Major 1, Ph.D., in 2015, grew from just a few members to more than 100 thousand members without counting the millions of followers who watch his services on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/shepherdbushiriministries), YouTube, phone application (e.g. Bushiri Buzzhttps://www.facebook.com/bushiribuzz) and his TV (Prophetic Channel TV), etc. Major1, the world’s richest minister, is also one of the youngest billionaires in the world. He was honored as one of the “Most Influential Contemporary African Diaspora Leaders” (http://africandiasporaleaders.com/shepherdbushiri). Seeing the miracles and the steps that Apostle Felixosis is taking, under the anointing and mentoring of his father Major1, it will not be surprising that very soon, ECG America will make the national news.

As one of the “Christian nations” on earth, the US is blessed to finally have an Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) Church branch. The time has come for Africa to send more missionaries like Apostle Felixosis Huios Nabi Navira to the western nations, where Christianity is sometimes attacked and threatened because of the growing number of worldly philosophies that tend to raise human knowledge and theories above the Word of God, which will never disappear although heaven and earth will pass away very soon. As ECG America grows and is better known by more people in US, more Americans will certainly partake in the grace that is working for the Major Prophet Dr. Shepherd Bushiri. Seeing how ECG is shaking Africa, its continent of birth, there is no doubt that, under the leadership of Major1, ECG America is going to positively shake the US very soon and bring forth the revival that many ministers have been praying for. As the Americans are awaiting this prophetic revival and financial revolution in their land, where great men of God like EvangelistBilly Graham, EvangelistReinhard Bonnke, Bishop T. D. Jakes, Pastor John Kilpatrick, Evangelist Morris Nathan, etc., have faithfully preached the Good News, it is worth thanking God and noticing thatApostle Felixosis Huios Nabi Naviraand the partners of ECG America are off to a great start. ECG Church in Portland Maine, is located at: 1844 Forest Avenue, Portland, Maine, 04103 (USA).

South Africa based Prophet Shepherd Bushiri (known as Major 1) (https://www.facebook.com/shepherdbushiriministries), the founder and president of Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) Church, sent his spiritual son Apostle Felixosis Huios Nabi Navira (currently known as the last born of Major 1) to lead ECG Portland, Maine, in America. Now, this son has been shaking the city by surprise with mind blowing miracles as he is flowing in what he calls the “elements of his father”. Almost every Sunday, something new happens and testimonies keep coming. Among the miracles that he has done are supernatural weight loss, miracle money, debts cancellation and many more.

A recent miracle related to a medical bill, which dropped from 1.8 million USD to $63 after a prayer by the Apostle, has been amazingly shocking people in the US. Indeed, one of the main challenges in life is to keep one’s health up. If despite all precautions and efforts to stay healthy, a medical problem arises, the bills can be overwhelming. In western countries like the USA, healthcare is very expensive and the corresponding bills are costly. Despite efforts to lower the price of healthcare in the US, some people still have to pay a huge price and some cannot even afford it. Some people even die accidently because they are afraid to go to hospital and acquire more debts.

A lady in the US was sick and ended up in a coma for three months. During her stay in the coma, she was put on life support. By the time she came out of the coma, she had a medical bill of 1.8 million US dollars. Unfortunately, she did not have money to pay the bill. While trying to return to her normal life, she heard about Prophet Shepherd Bushiri (Major 1) and his church, which is headquartered in Pretoria, South Africa. Fortunately, in 2016, ECG Church opened a branch in New York and in Portland, Maine (United States). ECG Portland, Maine, is led by Apostle Felixosis Huios Nabi Navira (https://www.facebook.com/huios.felixosis), a Malawian-born Cisco Certified Network Expert that is walking in the shoes of his Father, Prophet Shepherd Bushiri.

Because of the miracles that lady heard about the ministries of Major 1 (https://www.youtube.com/user/propheticchannelTv), she joined ECG Church in Portland, Maine. There, she met Apostle Felixosis Huios Nabi Navira, who prayed for her. About a month later, the medical bill dropped from 1.8 million US dollars to eleven thousands. Then, the lady returned back to church and the Apostle prayed for her again. Afterwards, the bill dropped from eleven thousands to four thousands. As she kept believing, she went back to the Apostle who prayed for her again. This time, the bill dropped from four thousands to sixty three dollars.

This miracle should not be surprising as Apostle Felixosis has an impressive prophetic grace upon his life. As a beloved spiritual son of Major Prophet Shepherd Bushiri (Major One) (http://shepherdbushiriinvestments.com), the Apostle is surely anointed by his father who trusts him well enough to ask him to lead ECG America. This can also explain why in less than six months, ECG Portland, Maine, has been already making the news in Maine, USA! As a responsible, responsive, and organized leader, Apostle Felixosis Huios Nabi Navira has a great vision about his calling and the things he wants to do in life. He really cares for the people he oversees and wants to win more souls for the Lord. He is a great motivator who likes to encourage people to trust in the God of Major1 (http://shepherdbushiriministries.org), who can do anything anytime. Under the anointing of his father Major 1 and grandpa (Prophet Uebert Angel), Apostle Felixosis Huios Nabi Navira is surely going to be one of the leaders who will play a crucial role in the prophetic and financial revolution that will positively shake the US very soon.

For so long, people have been wrongly taught that prophecy is for the time of old and that to hear from God today, they must only read the Bible. However, at the beginning of 2015, the search for the solution of a problem I was having forced me to seek the Voice of God clearly. I realized that if I could find a living true prophet, he could help me. Therefore, the trail of my search of a genuine prophet led me toProphet Uebert Angel(www.uebertangel.org) and his spiritual son,Prophet Shepherd Bushiri (Major1). Within a few weeks, as I was watching all the videos these prophets posted on their Youtube accounts (www.youtube.com/user/SpiritEmbassy/videos ; www.youtube.com/user/propheticchannelTv), I amazingly found out that God is really still speaking today through them, even in a major way than that of Moses, Isaiah, Elijah, and Ezekiel, etc.

Since the time I discovered them, I have been following them on social media. For instance, every morning, after reading my Bible, I always go to their Facebook pages (www.facebook.com/ProphetUebertAngelandwww.facebook.com/shepherdbushiriministries) to read what the daily breaking news from heaven is. It was during one of these readings at the beginning of 2017 that I learned that Prophet Uebert Angel would be coming to Houston, Texas (USA) for a two day conference on March 10-11, 2017. Therefore, I managed to fly my family and myself to attend this historic conference hosted byPastor Jeremiah Asomugha (www.jaministry.org), a spiritual son of Prophet Uebert Angel.

The meeting attracted thousands of people from all over the world (e.g. Canada, UK, Cameroon, Trinidad and Tobago, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ivory Coast, several states in the US, etc.). As usual, the Prophet did a lot of crazy miracles and prophecies. Several people were instantaneously healed from diseases (e.g. high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, deaf, and kidney). For instance, a lady whose blood pressure was 180 over 200, which is a stage of stroke, passed under the shadow of the Prophet and was healed; her blood pressure came down to 120 over 70. As the pioneer of the miracle money, Uebert Angel spoke the Word and many people even received miracle money immediately and credit scores were raised. The remission from prison of the relatives of some of the audience members was pronounced and God answered spontaneously. It was one of the greatest honors and privileges of my life that, God located me through the prophet who called me out. Then, he accurately prophesied to me and my wife with deep details including my date and place of birth, my distinction during my PhD graduation as Doctoral Marshall (first of my class of hundreds of doctorates) in the USA, the age of the pregnancy of my wife, the year I moved to the US where I now live as a dual citizen, the name of my business,DiasporaEngager(The World’s #1 Global Diaspora Engagement Social Media Platform –www.DiasporaEngager.com) and how God has been talking to me about it, etc. The crowd was very shocked by the accuracy of the prophecies of the Major Prophet and some people were holding their head because they could not believe it. I do not know any miracle described in the Bible that Prophet Uebert Angel andProphet Shepherd Bushiri (Major1) (www.shepherdbushiriministries.org) have not performed yet. The accuracy of their prophecies, the magnitude of their deeds, and their demonstration of the power of God are a true testimony of their unquestionable dominion and the anointing they carry.

Also called the Biological Microphone of God, Prophet Uebert Angel unapologetically believes that spoken Word of God through people who talk with God like him has the power to prosper believers. Therefore, in an attempt to teach others how to start and run a successful business, he founded the “The Millionaire Academy” (www.themillionaireacademy.org) many years ago. One of the highlights of the conference in Houston, Texas, was that “The Millionaire Academy” (www.twitter.com/MillionaireAca1) held on Saturday March 11, 2017 was the first he ever did in the USA. The conference was so successful that he announced that he will make it a biannual event. During the meeting, he shared with the audience secrets and unconventional wisdom to become a millionaire like him, the Original Major, and even more. According to him, “poor people are good managers of their poverty”. For this pioneer of the forensic and microscopic prophecy, money is useless and to become rich, one must also learn to honor people and not insult money. For him, money measures value and for someone to have money, he or she must increase his or her value. He encouraged the audience not to wait for someone to give them value, but to give themselves value and never abandon their calling. He stated that “money does not go to nice people” and it does not respect prayer. In fact, according to this internationally sought-after conference speaker, “the demon of poverty is more powerful than prayer and fasting combined”, and that is why most prayer warriors who do not apply the rules to be rich are usually broke. He also encouraged the audience to always remember to honor God with their finances and to keep sowing seeds in good soils. For instance, through theUebert Angel Foundation (www.theangelorganisation.com), Prophet Uebert Angel and his wife have been using their wealth to also change lives in some of the poorest communities on earth by building houses for the homeless, feeding the poor, sponsoring the education, providing scholarships and tuition fees for needy students. I wish time and space could allow me to detail here what I learned from him and all that happened at the conference. Fortunately, some of the wisdom of this prolific author can be found in some of hisbestselling books (www.uebertangel.org/books):

He is one of the handful contemporary pioneers and leaders of the Good News Revolution and modern day Prophetic Movement that are backed up by undeniable miracles, healings, signs, wonders and accurate prophecies. He is the founder and overseer of The Good News Church (also called Spirit Embassy The Good News Church) which has branches in the USA, Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. His ministry aims at bringing liberty, transforming lives and healing the sick through the revelation of Euagellion, The Good News of God’s Grace too good to be true.

Prophet Uebert Angel obtained two degrees in Finance from the University of Salford (UK), a postgraduate degree at the University of Bolton (UK), and a Masters’ degree in Applied Philosophy from the University of Wales (UK). He is happily married to Beverly “Bebe” Angel, and together, they have 4 sons, some of which are already prophesying like their parents. Uebert and BeBe Angel are the founders of Miracle TV and theGood News TV (www.goodnewsworld.tv) which broadcast to millions of homes in Europe, Africa and Asia.

Prophet Uebert Angel is also a very successful and international businessman. He has more than 200 commercial and residential real estates across the globe. For instance, he is the founder and CEO ofSam Barkeley Construction (www.sambarkeley.com), a preconstruction planning, construction management, land and building acquisition company, which has been doing many projects in Europe, Africa, and in the USA. His other businesses are grouped under the parent company “The Angel Organization”. He is founder ofOsbourne Institute of Theology (www.osborninstitute.com), an online school accredited by “Transworld Accrediting Association”. Students from more than 25 countries are enrolled in that school. He is a motivational speaker and he has done seminars in several African countries, USA, Canada, UK, the Caribbean, Australia, India, etc.

Recently, Prophet Uebert Angel has been described in Forbes Magazine as “one of those making multimillion dollar fortunes, these do not inherit riches, but they make them on their own”. He is the second Zimbabwean in history to be featured in the prestigious Forbes Magazine. Many years ago, his net was estimated at more than 100 million US dollars. If an updated estimation can be done by properly taking into account the many businesses and hundreds of real estates that Prophet Uebert Angel and his wife have, I have no doubt that this exceptional couple must be counted among the billionaires. To make a long story short, this climate change lobbyist is one of the wealthiest ministers in the world. He is a UN Peace Ambassador and his acquaintances include several heads of state and other world leaders. Major Prophet Uebert Angel has received many honors and awards across the globe including “The Most Influential Contemporary African Diaspora Leaders” honor in 2016 (www.africandiasporaleaders.com/uebertangel).

After decades of independence, economic development in African countries continues to lag behind. However, several models and ideologies of development have been applied. Are these ideologies and models inadequate in Africa’s specific case or are the real causes of Africa’s failures due to different factors? Considering the complex process of development, the answer to this question is not simple. In trying to find the real solution to the problem, the importance of identifying the source of poverty in Africa is very relevant.

In one of my books (A continent in tears: The origin of Africa’s collapse and how to reverse it), Dr Roland Holou thoroughly analyzed the real evils that undermine development in African countries. After reviewing the literature on Africa’s development and the misconduct of African officials, the importance of human resource and knowledge in the process of Africa’s development has been revealed. The in-depth analysis focused on the failures of the education systems, lack of thought, problems with intelligence and creativity, scientific research, negativity, rote learning(mechanically memorizing information without truly learning how to apply it), corruption, the mismanagement of Africa’s natural resources, reproduction, witchcraft, politics, trade unionism, ignorance, the African mentality, accountability, the awareness of Africans, corruption of foreign powers, the brain drain, and so on. Examples of elites that Africa needs are included as well.

Why does Africa Weep and Deteriorate?

Indeed, Africa suffers from an intellectual, demographic, and spiritual crisis. The decline of Africa is due not only to its poor management and governance, but also to the acts of evil inflicted upon the continent. From households to the very top of the state, Africans are faced with major challenges. Many Africans are afraid to think or do not want to think; many are afraid to speak, do not want to speak, or cannot speak; many are afraid to act or do not want to act; many leaders are corrupt and/or do not want to learn; many have knowledge but do not want to or cannot apply their knowledge; many religious figures are so attached to narrow visions that they have disregarded the management of cities and politics. Above all else, intellectuals are often spurned by those in charge. When certain individuals want to contribute to society or become something, they are suppressed and rejected. Many skills are scorned; great minds are rarely encouraged or heard. Though several politicians do have some skilled knowledge, recognized experts and skilled workers generally do not want to get involved in politics.

When dictators come to power, they do as they please; when politicians have power, they hardly listen to skilled workers; when skilled workers take power, they act as if everything is technical. Moreover, radical trade unionism and political opposition are destroying Africa. Many do not want to contribute to successful initiatives, preferring instead to advance their own interests. What’s worse is the erroneous African mentality that makes development and progress impossible. While skilled, able workers who could make a difference are out of work, lazy and unqualified individuals are promoted to important positions by their relatives in power. Meanwhile, the expenses of the “great” have robbed Africa of the little that is available, all to the detriment of the poor, “innocent” farmers who are dying under the afternoon sun. With the help of foreign powers and politicians, African officials have effectively beaten Africa down.

Moreover, in many education systems, diplomas are not always symbols of knowledge that will lead to positive action toward development. Indeed, Africans distribute and collect many useless degrees. Many graduates claim to be educated when in reality their credentials are a sham. Africa trains too many scholars—parrots whose heads are filled with useless theories and words—who are unproductive and ultimately do not contribute anything of value to society. There are very few exceptions to this rule. Meanwhile, uncontrolled reproduction is enhancing poverty and other problems pertaining to underdevelopment at a faster rate than preexisting problems can be solved. Indeed, polygamy and certain sexual perversions not only contribute to underdevelopment in Africa, but also to the culture of African destitution.

Additionally, African intellectuals are under the influence of spiritual factions that often impede efforts toward development. Unfortunately, the classic debates surrounding underdevelopment in Africa have always ignored the spiritual dimension of the problem. Undoubtedly, developed countries had advantages and other assets that aided them in their growth. These countries have had their Enlightenment period; great minds have worked to put these nations on the right path. Today, Africa’s best minds are afraid to even remain on the continent. Due to this massive brain drain, there are real problems pertaining to coordination, awareness, accountability, and intelligent, rational application of development strategies in African nations.

Real Causes and Solutions to African Impoverishment

In an attempt to find a lasting solution to the impoverishment of Africa and to put the continent on the path to prosperity, Dr. Roland Holou (www.RolandHolou.com) has suggested pertinent and practical reforms in his book that should be initiated. This book provides anyone who is concerned with development in Africa valuable information and instruction on how to take action. The ideas proposed in this book could be applied to other continents as well, as these same issues occur outside of Africa.

Dual citizen of the USA and Benin Republic, Dr. Roland Holou has a doctorate in plant sciences, entomology, and microbiology. He is an agricultural engineer and a specialist in environmental development and management. He also holds a diploma in Rural Development and is the Founder and CEO of DiasporaEngager (www.DiasporaEngager.com), the world’s #1 diaspora engagement platform. To learn more about Dr Roland Holou and his books, or to contact him, please write to: rholou@yahoo.com and rholou@diasporaengager.com

Through my experience dealing with diasporas across the globe (e.g. https://www.DiasporaEngager.com/map), I have learned something very shocking about Africa and America that I would like to share with you today. I noticed that some diaspora groups and countries are very connected and as tightly knit as a sweater. When I realized that these groups were successful in helping their diaspora and home country, I thought to myself: why isn’t this the case for Africa?

For many years, I used to think that the African leaders, politicians, and intellectuals were the main cause of the African problem. In 2008, I published a book in France titled “La Faillite des Cadres et Intellectuels Africains(The Failure of the African Intellectuals). After being recently involved in several diaspora initiatives, I realized that what causes the African leaders to cling to power and ignore their own intellectuals who, in the end, are leaving Africa to go abroad, is also causing the African Diaspora to fight among each other, and wanting to raise themselves above each other in a way that most of the African diaspora initiatives are not in sync. The Africans tend to always put themselves first, and in the process, they discourage and put down anyone who may dare to do something similar. While other nations are fighting the ideologies that should free Africa, the Africans themselves keep creating and worsening divisions they have been subjected to by colonial powers. African efforts lack coordination and cooperation at many levels. The African Diaspora and African leaders are not ready to engage with one another in a realistic way that can overcome 21st century global mindsets and customs that still try to hold back the Black community, despite having a Black President at the White House.

The mentality that caused the Europeans to go to Africa to divide it, to catch our grandfathers and force them into slavery (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_slave_trade), is sadly still within many of our own African leaders and the African Diaspora. That evil spirit is causing many Africans to sabotage one another, and to refuse to collaborate with or help each other. That is why Africa is unable to unite and use its rich lands and resources to develop. I found it fascinating that some Africans born in Africa do not even consider African Americans (descendants of former slaves) to be a part of the African diaspora. Sometimes, I am shocked that while talking about race in America, there is a difference between African, Black, African American, Afrodescendant, and Negro. Yet, they are the same people who are struggling to free their brothers and sisters from some historical strongholds.

During the building of the global diaspora database (www.DiasporaEngager.com/directory and https://www.DiasporaEngager.com/map), I engaged with several diaspora associations across the globe. I noticed that there are many African diaspora clubs. The Africans gather themselves in groups that discuss diverse forms of doctrines without truly thinking about how to help others even their own people. In those diaspora groups or networks, some Africans surround themselves with people who can help them to find a piece of the pie and eat it together. After being involved in decision making at the highest level, I found it amazing that in America, many of the African Diaspora’s initiatives by Africans from Africa are not welcomed by some leaders in the African American communities (https://www.diasporaengager.com/American), and vice versa. The Africans need to learn to work more cooperatively and to stop to be victims of their past historical wounds. The African Diasporas are so dispersed and divided that IF they cannot learn HOW to better work with one another in the midst of their divergences and geographical constraints, they can never sustainably improve their situation.

An African Market.

The most developed countries do NOT like each other, BUT they know how to meet in their clubs of G7, G10, G20, Gxyz, etc. to work together and push their agenda forward. While the African Nations are trying hard to be included in these clubs, they have refused for more than 50 years to unite themselves to form a realistic African Union. Similarly, some African leaders tend to reject the potential of their diaspora intellectuals in order to focus on their own selfish agendas that help them acquire money; create projects and/or get consulting fees, or keep their power until they die on their throne before their children take over by picking up the leadership heritage. Though certain African Leaders cite the western countries as the root of their poverty, they crush their own people with policies, sometimes in the name of democracy that some people think is sufficient to develop Africahttps://DiasporaEngager.com/extPage/DemocracyGovernance!

Likewise, the African diasporas “ignore” one another just as some developed countries technically overlook Africa’s best interests. For instance, Benin Republic—my country of origin—is among the smallest countries in the world. We have more than 150 political parties in Benin and there are several diaspora associations from Benin in America; however, they are NOT working together. Everybody wants to be the Boss and at the same time some western powers have put Africa in a big box that it is struggling to escape. This backward mentality is everywhere amongst most African nations and diasporas. As if this mentality is not enough, the African leaders are not listening to the intellectuals they have at their own universities. Indeed, they have chased away many professionalshttps://www.diasporaengager.com/BrainDrain and imprisoned those they do not like. Africa claims that it wants to reverse the brain drain; however, it forgets that the migration of these brains is feeding the economy and the technology of western countries that Africa asks to fund the African projects where money is spoiled and wasted as if it was the sand of the seashore. Are the Africans implying that the World Bank was right when it argued for many years that Africa does not need University Intellectuals? For instance, the African Leaders need to understand that listening to their own intellectuals and investing in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics … must be the first priority in their budget. Otherwise, we are just programming and prolonging poverty in Africa, although some people use statistics to show that Africa is prospering. Money-oriented conferences organized on behalf of Africa will not improve the African situation. Indeed, if we cannot change the mentality of the African Leaders, we cannot win this battle. African leaders need to follow the example of the African intellectuals who are making positive difference such as Prof Brice Sinsin (http://www.BriceSinsin.com)

Furthermore, we need to be more honest with Africa and with one another. For instance, members of the African Diasporas (https://www.diasporaengager.com/Africa) are very smart, but NOT very rich. Yet, when they go to Africa, they behave as if they are billionaires abroad. This behavior ignites excitement and adventure in the minds of talented Africans, who then leave Africa only to realize that life abroad is not always easy, nor the heaven that some people describe. We need to start being honest with our people in Africa. When we want to talk about African Diaspora Engagement, let’s not think too much about MONEY, and let’s refrain from turning to BIG financial institutions for funding. Money has never been Africa’s problem and it will never be the solution. If the African Diaspora can help one another without spreading abroad their backward mentality—which is not different from the mindset of the nations that try to oppress them—, I (www.RolandHolou.com) believe we can better forge strong coalitions that can help free Africa, the poor, the needy, and the afflicted from being controlled by the power of other nations who are trying to develop themselves as well.

Some people may wonder why I am speaking as if I hate Africa. The fact of the matter is that I love Africa very much and I still have brothers and sisters on the Black continent who cannot even comprehend the reality of life abroad even if I risk my life to tell them the truth. I was born and raised in the Benin Republic (West Africa) before I moved to the USA many years ago. I am privileged to have tasted life in Africa before migrating to the USA, where I got my PhD in Plant, Insect and Microbial Sciences. I have been working and publishing books and articles about Africa for more than 15 years. It is my love for Africa and the global diaspora that caused me to create DiasporaEngager, the International Diaspora Engagement Platform www.DiasporaEngager.com. Today, I am pleased to inform you that the platform is growing quickly and is being used in many countries. We also completed the most comprehensive diaspora database and diaspora map, which anyone can access by creating a free account at www.DiasporaEngager.com/miniRegister and then visit athttps://diasporaengager.com/map/. DiasporaEngager is helping people and nations to address some of the problems mentioned above http://diasporasnews.com/how-does-diasporaengager-help-individuals-organizations-and-nations/.

With the development of technologies and business opportunities, the increase of service to customers, the amount of information to analyze, and the increasing need to make the right decisions based on a variety of data, consulting is becoming a very important component in the workplace. Unfortunately, access to affordable and trustworthy consultants at the right time is not always easy. Similarly, many talented people would like to offer consulting services, but they don’t know where, how, and whom to contact.

Although in the case of countries affected by brain drain the need of native consultants is more appealing, it is very hard for people living in the diaspora to offer such a service to their home countries. At the same time, many organizations have consulting openings, but they don’t know how or who to contact to get those jobs done. Sometimes, because of a lack of the right fit, many consultations are done by less qualified people.

While the experts living in the diaspora are rarely used by their home countries for consulting, several foreign consultants are hired for the cause of those very countries. Unfortunately, those foreign consultants often lack the local knowledge which is required to appropriately elaborate certain policies, and they are often less qualified and more expensive than the diasporas. If the global diasporas can be better organized, they can be a very powerful instrument for consulting and development of the government, schools, businesses, and organizations in their home country as well as in their host country.

To fill the gap of information and collaboration between people willing to be consulted and the persons or institutions that will receive such services, DiasporaEngager aims at creating a free global consulting platform by using social media to bring together consulting customers and clients for collaboration, networking, business, entrepreneurship, and much more, to develop people and nations.

With this platform, the world’s diasporas can be easily reached and used for consulting needs. This international platform significantly annuls the consulting fee and allows nations to find and use people that they can trust. If anyone needs a consultant for anything, he or she will just go online and search worldwide.

The global consulting platform(http://bit.ly/1rAX9cN) brings together consultants and clients for collaboration, networking, business, and entrepreneurship to develop people and nations. On this diaspora engagement site, people, businesses, organizations, institutions, and nations can create their profile and put online their expertise, profession, years of experience, location, and the cost of their service. If anyone needs a consultant for anything, he or she will just go to this platform online and search locally or internationally. The consultants can be contacted for specific needs pertaining to their region, expertise, and availability.

Almost every African country is trying to engage with its diaspora. However, in general, when it comes to how to convince the African diaspora to work with their country of origin, most of the methods used are not working. One of the first things that comes to the mind of most Africans living in Africa is to ask the diaspora to help them, forgetting that no one is helping the diaspora for free. In contrast, the first thing that enters the mind of most diasporas is not how to help Africa, but whether Africa knows why they have left the continent and what they are doing/facing abroad!

Do I need to underline that many African immigrants have left the Black Continent because they were chased away by some leaders and sorcerers who, today, are begging them to invest back home? What can’t I say about the massive and forced migration of Africans to America during one of the darkest and wicked ages of human history a few centuries ago? I even wonder how many people realize that the largest African diaspora population is in Brazil! Most Africans leaders are not trying to better know and understand their diaspora before asking them to come invest their money in Africa. Sometimes, I even wonder how many African Professionals in the Diaspora are richer than the African leaders who are begging them for money. Worst, some African leaders act as if their diaspora have forgotten the wounds they have suffered in Africa before finding a way to flee the continent of Kwame Nkrumah. Undoubtedly, a lot of basic first steps needs to be addressed in order to start aligning the mentality of Africa with that of its diaspora. Otherwise, the synergistic coalition needed for African Diaspora Engagement (www.DiasporaEngager.com/Africa) will continue lacking!

The migration of the diasporas from their home country to their new country of residence is a kind of “divorce or break up” with their roots. Some Africans have had some bad experiences with their own people that they do not even want to reverse their “divorce” with the continent of Nelson Mandela and of Prof Brice Sinsin. Other immigrants have been highly afflicted by the people in their home country that they do not want to hear any request coming from them. No intelligible man dates a woman by starting to ask about anything that is supposed to be last. Moreover, no reasonable man can win back his ex-wife or ex-girlfriend, and vice versa, by starting the conversation with a list of requests or a list of things that the ex must do. Sadly, certain political leaders who orchestrated the migration of their own people cling to power and then, ask their diaspora that they and their ancestors have hunted to come and invest in their country. These types of diaspora engagement cannot work, particularly in the African context where people seem to pull each other toward the bottom of the misery pit. At the same time, many foreign countries are taking advantage of the divergences among the Africans!

African Diaspora Engagement Must be like a Love Story. Why? Check out www.DiasporaEngager.com/Africa

The involvement of the diaspora in the development of their home country must follow certain basic rules of courtesy. I believe that Africa and its diaspora need to start “dating” each other in a format similar to that of a man trying to win back his ex-wife or ex-girlfriend, and vice versa. However, while some people that have broken up can easily find new loves, it is not easy for most diaspora to quickly forget their roots and embrace the culture of their new country. This implies that many opportunities still exist to start engaging the African Diasporas in a dialogue with their homeland which dearly needs them. For this dialog to succeed, it must not begin with begging the diaspora to come back to Africa or to invest in Africa. Similarly, the diaspora should not inaugurate this dialog by requesting that the African political leaders change overnight. The African Diasporas need to know that, though their new life abroad has changed the way they used to think, many of their brothers and sisters in Africa still act as if they have no brain or if they cannot get rid of the legacy of the colonial ignorance and slavery. Therefore, the African Diaspora must be tolerant with their own people who need to be willing to realign and renew their mentality so that synergistic coalitions can be fostered in a win-win framework for the advancement of our dear Africa rather than allowing the so-called super powers to continue poaching their rich lands and mines like the cake of their grandmother or like their heritage or like the field of their slaves that they are still trying to enslave with diverse model of modern technology, negotiation, aids, partnership, and legislation!!!

Please, don’t get me wrong. I am not saying that every African diaspora engagement effort has failed. Indeed, several people and organizations have successfully engaged with Africa and its diaspora in a positive way. Many Africans living in Africa and in the diaspora have also contributed to the development of their homeland. We take advantage of this opportunity to thank those Africans, African diasporas, their friends, partners and stakeholders who have made a positive difference in Africa.

However, after spending years working on the African problems and writing books on African Development, I can conclude that, when it comes to engaging the African diaspora in the development of Africa, ten questions need to be asked first:

What can we do to forgive each other and embrace a new journey of partnership?

How can we partner rather than how can they help us?

How can we initiate this partnership without bringing up money as the first issue?

And these questions must be answered without forgetting the millions of African-Americans, (descendants of the slaves or African Descent individuals of descendants of former slaves), whom some stupid and/or naive Leaders think are not worthy to be called African Diaspora! It is after these questions are sincerely addressed that Africa and its Diaspora can start talking about who can do what for who? Without following these simple strategic steps, the African diaspora will just keep creating thousands of African Diaspora Associations, while the African Political Leaders will keep creating more Political Parties in Africa, yet, sinking Africa, remaining at odds and, therefore, unable to work together to create positive change.
